Proceeding contribution from Lord Filkin (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Pensions Bill.


Pensions Bill

My Lords, would we not be supporting my noble friend in his endeavour to get a proper solution to the problems he has articulated if the House gave a clear expression of opinion in support of the issue? The Government have plenty of opportunities subsequently to bring back a better amendment that addresses any technical defects and the policy point that he rightly indicates impedes him slightly from supporting what I believe his heart is truly with.
